June reading was a very mixed bunch!
From the best 5***** to a book I thought was dreadful and gave the lowest mark.
Safe to say I’m not a fan of Kate Atkinson but maybe this was not one of her better books.

May was a very good month for the enjoyment of my reading.
‘James’ was a reread for a book group.
‘Lolita’ was inspired by reading ‘Reading Lolita in Tehran’ last month.
‘The Other Valley’ was an impulse buy but a good one
My brain is still buzzing with thoughts about many of them.

April was a quiet reading month - no reading at all on ten days - that’s quite unusual for me

I’ve been using StoryGraph for a few months now and I love it. I agree that the ’moods’ are a bit random. I like to see the covers of my tbr pile. I also like the summary by month showing everything that I have read in various formats and also seeing how many pages I’ve read each month.

The categories are a bit random. I tend to think of historical fiction as bodice rippers rather than stories set in the past so I’m always a bit miffed when it looks as though I’ve read a lot of historical fiction 😂

Sone of my March reading was for book groups so maybe not what I would choose to read

March reading had mixed fortunes - some books that I did not enjoy and some absolute crackers

I was surprised that I read more historical than contemporary fiction.

I’m feeling grumpy because I need to read Any Human Heart for next Friday’s book club but I really really want to read the Donal Ryan. The William Boyd has been on my tbr pile for ages but I’m struggling with it.

January was a good month for reading.
I also borrowed and read ‘Hannah Coulter’ by Wendell Berry but I’ve given that one back.
Klara was a reread for a book club.
My favourite was probably ‘I Who Have Never Known Men’ - quite challenging but I was totally absorbed.
Hello Beautiful was a good story.

Morning Womble!
I’m nearly finished this. Good but not as good as ‘Line of Beauty’ imo. I’m waiting for the paperback version of ‘Our Evenings’ as I do love Alan Hollinghurst’s writing

I seem to remember that I wasn’t going to buy any more books this year?

Have you read any of these?
